Did you know in Western Washington it rains much of the year but in Eastern Washington it doesn’t rain very much? Even though Eastern and Western Washington are in the same state they are two very different locations.

Western Washington’s physical features are very different than Eastern Washington’s .Western Washington has lots of harbors and bays such as Gray harbor, Willpa bay, and Puget sound .Puget sound is a very popular body of water. Western Washington also has island such as the San Juan or Whidbey islands .Even though Western Washington has harbors, bays ,and islands Eastern Washington doesn't . Instead Eastern Washington has physical features like the Columbia plateau, the Columbia river, and FDR lake .The Columbia river stretches from Eastern Washington to Western Washington’s border. FDR lake was named after Franklin Roosevelt . There are also potholes made from dried up bodies of water.

Western and Eastern Washington’s climate are very different. Western Washington’s climate is a west coast marine climate, mild winters and mild summers. Western Washington has mild temperatures because the Pacific Ocean keeps the temperatures cool in the summer and warmer in the winter. From my experiences during summer there’s one week with hot temperatures and in the winter there’s one week of snow. Even though Western Washington has mild temperatures Eastern Washington doesn’t. Eastern Washington has a semiarid climate . Less than fifteen inches of rain per year. Winters are long and cold summers are short and hot.

Western Washington has more vegetation than Eastern Washington. There is dense vegetation in Western Washington because the evergreen trees provide shade for the other plants. Also because it rains a lot and the temperature is mild. Western Washington is famous for the evergreen tree. Even though Western Washington has dense vegetation Eastern Washington has hardly any plants or vegetation. Only hardy plants grow there, and on mountains...

Introduction
The WashingtonState constitution dictates “It is the paramount duty of the state to make ample provision for the education of all children residing within its borders, without distinction or preference on account of race, color, caste or sex.” All children have the right to an education, however unlike other states, within the WashingtonState constitution it is made a “paramount duty”. In 1976, following a failure to pass a levy by Seattle School District, Seattle School District argued that this wasn’t the case. The Doran decision in the late 70’s found that WashingtonState was violating its constitutional law in not providing adequate funds to public education. The McCleary case took it further and argued that WashingtonState needs to do more than cover a percentage within a school budget but fully fund public education and real changes need to be made. These changes were the laws ESHB 2261 and SHB 2776 which required such things as lower class sizes, fully funded kindergarten and highly capable programs, increased credits for high school, increased instructional hours and new funding levels to be established by the 2018 school year. As of December 2012 the findings were that the state was not making adequate progress towards making the 2018 deadline and that...

ILA
The WashingtonState Legislature passed the bill “the Parenting Sentencing Alternative substitute senate bill 6639” in 2010 The legislation has created two programs to help parents of minor children get intensive supervision as alternatives to incarceration: Family and Offender sentencing Alternative (FOSA) and Community Parenting Alternative (CPA). “TheState saw a need to address the issue of the increasing number of minor children being raised without their parents. “ The Community Parenting Alternative is the department of Corrections Avenue for a parent who is within the correctional system could be placed with in this alternative program. This programs protocol is to transfer an offender to home detention using electronic monitoring for up to the last year of their prison sentence. Susan Leavell explained that "the inmates that are coming out are still inmates, but in their home. Electronic monitoring is a way to ensure that they are where they say they are and that they don't leave the home without permission." The current sentence is waived and 12 month community custody is imposed with intensive supervision model and weekly visits with the offender.
The basic goal of the program is to stop the cycle of criminal life style with in families by getting parents back into the home. Susan Leavell said it best "With this...

...the impact of rail roads on the washingtonstate
Can you imagine living in a car for six months? If not then try to imagine how hard it would be to be living in a wagon thats always moving. Everyone having to pitch in by either collecting firewood, walking beside the wagon to make the load lighter for the horses, or taking care of seven or eight children, the exhuastion knocking you out every night. Then when you finally get to the land you travelled so far to get a piece of, there is more work then thought. The railroads changed all of that worry and hard labor. On September 8th, 1883 the railroad came to WashingtonState making almost everything alot easier. The railroads had a major influence on washintons development. The railroad effected the economic, geographic, and cultural aspects of WashingtonState.
The railroads had a major impact on the economic attributes of washingtonstate. Moving products that were to be sold was alot less work and worry when the trains came. "... A ton of wheat (33 bushels) one hundred miles at a cost of no less then $12, or $2 per day which is equal to $0.36 per bushel.." (artifact F) There became easier access to the land when the railroad lines came, whiched also brought up the value. "... If the railroad rate is one-half or one-third the wagon rate, as is usually the case, it will save enough to add a hundred per cent...

...unconstitutional in many states, now most states have some form of grandparent’s rights. In WashingtonState it has been a struggle for many grandparents to even have limited visitation with their grandchildren. The 14th amendment of the constitution gives explicit rights to biological parents. For a court to force time between grandchildren and grandparents is direct violation of this right.
The term “Grandparents” is a very unique word for vital link in any family
To begin with, a recent study found that grandparents play a key role in the outward and cognitive development of a child. The results of the study showed at the infant stage that children develop higher intellects when taken care of by their grandparents
The concept of grandparents rights is relatively new and is the product of several factors. These factors include greater longevity, which has given many grandparents larger roles in their grandchildren’s lives, and a rising divorce rate, which in many cases has put those relationships in peril. Grandparents facing the loss of their visitation rights have sought legal relief from a patchwork of laws and legal precedents which vary greatly from location to location. In the United States, grandparents rights are governed primarily by state statute, but no less an authority than the U.S. Supreme Court has weighed in on the subject

Washington: Western States Report
Washington became the 42nd state on November 11th, 1889. Washington was named after the famous president, George Washington.
Gold was discovered in 1852 by agent Fort Colville. Mining became a big thing. In 1860, gold deposits were found in Orofino Creek and Clearwater River. A rush of prospectors was brought to Walla Walla. Between 1880 and 1890, the population quadrupled. Most settlers were from the mid-east or east, but Washington also gained many foreign immigrants. When gold in Alaska was discovered, many people fled Washington, leaving Seattle to go from a boom town.
There were many tribes of Native Americans. The men’s job was to hunt and fish, and the woman to keep charge of the home and land. The famous tribes were: Chinook, Clalskanie, Makah, Nez Perce, Ozette, Palouse, Wallawallla, Wynoochee, and Yakima. All the tribes were unique in their own way. The Chinooks were organized into settlements, so they weren’t exactly a tribe. They controlled the mouth of the Columbia River. The Clalskanie tribe were greatly fear by the others. They charged a toll fee for passage to the Columbia River. The Yakima tribe inhabited the Columbia River Plateau. The Wynoochee tribe owned territory along the Chehalis River. They depended on fish to survive. The Columbia River was of great...

TV Shows: Dr. Phil & Maury
In today’s world of TV shows and entertainment, talk shows have been shown to be one of the most watched and the most hyped type of television programming throughout the world. No matter whose household it is, it’ll be likely that they are watching talk shows, such as Oprah Winfrey’s show or even Jerry Springer’s show. Basically we all know the norm for talk shows, and how they usually show negative scenarios or talk about relationship and family problems. For instance, you would normally see a couple arguing and fighting over the paternity of a baby on the Jerry Springer show or if you’re watching the Montel Williams show you will see him talking about different subjects such as diets, wealth, and life secrets and a lot of other stuff along those lines. The best shows that I personally think contrast the most are the Maury Povich and Dr. Phil talk shows.
The Maury Povich show likes to showcase a lot of different topics and tries to relate a lot of the material to people’s everyday lives. The show in its early years covered topics of a serious nature, including gang warfare. Maury has dealt with a variety of issues across its many seasons, including—but not limited to—teenage pregnancy, sexual infidelity, paternity test results, uncommon illnesses, makeovers, "out of control" teenagers, transgender individuals, obese children, domestic violence, little...

Movie Critique “Indictment: The Mcmartin Trial”
The movie we viewed in class showed a perfect example of how the legal system and court system could be unfair and unjust to the offender and the victim. The McMartin Preschool Abuse trial is one of the longest and most expensive criminal trials in American history, and should serve as a cautionary tale to other big trials such as this one. The Mcmartin trial left many children damaged, as well as ruined many careers of the preschool staff and changed their lives forever.
I think the main victim in this trial was Ray Buckey, who was the principal defendant in the trial and spent many years in jail awaiting trial due to the accusations of the children and the media that he sexualy molested the children in the preschool. I believe this trial was blown way out of proportion by the media and jurors at the trial. i think the jury and the media should of been more cautious. Every accusation of the children on the staff was misinterpreted and blown way out of proportion.
I think the expert testimony about the children showed how the expert could be biased and unprofessional at his job. I think it is the testimonies that made the trial blow way out of proportion and caused the accused to suffer. The experts at these testimonies would pressure the children into giving in and answering the questions...
